5 June 2012, the government of United Kingdom has been slashing and burning social programs, yet charges the taxpayers for the Queen’s Jubilee!
While the people of Britain have been told that austerity measures are necessary, they were forced to pay at least $1.5 million USD so that the Queen could celebrate 60 years of rule! The $1.5 million is the estimated amount coming from the Sovereign Grant Fund, as reported by The Guardian.
The Sovereign Grant Fund is what the British subjects (taxpayers) pay to the Royal parasite family. You could call the Royal parasite family the wealthiest welfare recipients in the world!
Queen Elizabeth II is not a figure head, and any public ceremony held for the Royal parasite family is paid for by taxpayers!
Private donations also pay for the Royal parasite family’s public parties. According to estimates reported in The Guardian, donations paid for $16.2 million USD of the jubilee expenses.
Local governments forked over an average of $700,000 USD to support the jubilee.
Then there’s the “extra costs” caused by the fact that most businesses were closed for the jubilee. One estimation says the extra “bank holiday” could end up costing the British economy $1.8 billion USD!
Back in March, the Bank of England warned of economic doom because of continued support for the Royal elites. So much for the Royal parasite family being of any benefit to the people of Britain!
